EXAMPLES

Find issues that belonged to a different project and were moved. For instance, the following query finds issues that were in projects SEARCH and DATA. 

Due to Jira plugin system limitation, it is impossible to build a command that supports searching from/to. The query will find all issues which were in SEARCH or DATA at some point. 

 

MovedProjectsCount

Search for issues that were moved between a number of projects.
